Novak: Democrats should bound forward

Robert Novak on 1 March 2007 said:
After the failure of the Senate's 'non-binding' troop-surge resolution, Democrats still appear to be cowering when they should probably be bounding forward. They lack the will at this point to take what appears to be a popular step: binding action that would bring about a withdrawal or redeployment.  Republicans' rhetoric has carefully focused on the problems with Congress' trying to micromanage a war -- repeating the idea of '535 commanders in chief' on the floors of both houses of Congress. For now, this works, and it will continue to work as long as Democrats remain too frightened to act.
If arch-con Novak openly acknowledges the American people want the Iraq War to end NOW, and says in effect that the Democratic Congressional leadership is missing the window of opportunity because they are gutless, well... WHY? Should the disgruntled and betrayed voters march on Washington?

Defending Murtha (Teddy - 3/1/2007 8:38:38 PM)
against the smears and attacks because he proposed legislation requiring any troops sent to Iraq be fully equipped and trained to deal with counter-insurgency has not been done by his Democratic colleagues, either. Whatinhell is WRONG with Congressional Democrats? They just leave the field to the Republican noise machine, won't face them down. Surely they still have the majority, don't they?
